Chapter 17 That same day, in the inner quarters of Kim Jageun, the head of the powerful Haedong Kim clan in Hanseong— The moment Kim Jageun’s trusted subordinate reported the outcome of the royal council, Kim Jageun spoke. “Remove the local magistrates involved first. If we cut them loose first, it will look like we were the ones who dealt with the matter.” “But, My Lord, what should we do about the people whose names are written in the ledgers?” “Send them out to the provinces.…-

Chapter 28 Just thinking about it made Aiden's heart tremble. This was the right answer. It was an excellent solution. However, carrying her and jumping down in a zigzag pattern would obviously be uncomfortable for her. So Aiden had thought of using high-level magic instead. “If that's the problem, don't worry. I can use it.” There was no problem with descending. Except that Aiden's heart kept pounding because of Theodora's scent and the sensation of her body as she clung tightly to…-

Chapter 7 She narrowed her eyes at the hotel, which probably wasn't thinking about this place at all. Although she was occasionally annoyed by the fact that the hotel manager, Chun-rok, smiled at her from time to time, she had to admit that the hotel hadn't actually done anything wrong. Right. They're just following the rules too. She was just about to feel sorry for having been unnecessarily angry at them when Chun-rok, sensing her gaze, met her eyes. He gave her a beautiful, gentle smile…-

Chapter 14 At Muheun’s audacity, Jegal Cheonseong pressed his fingers to his brow. “Yes, the action itself is certainly worthy of praise.” What Muheun had said was not wrong. What he had done together with Seoryong was undoubtedly an act of chivalry. “However, do not obscure the point. You know that the issue is why you did not inform me first.” At Jegal Cheonseong’s firm voice, Muheun nodded. “As I said at the beginning, I determined that Master Hwang was in danger through…-

Prologue: The Missing Corpse 1. The First Death 1-0. The Missing Corpse It was a night when heavy rain poured down and covered the full moon. At the small cemetery belonging to a church on the outskirts of the city, rain fell steadily over the rows of stone grave markers, making a constant, monotonous sound. Among the old, neglected graves stood a small tombstone that looked as though it had only recently been made. The name carved into it with exquisite detail reflected the pale light of the…-

Chapter 13 Dokgo Hyeon’s eyes widened slightly, seemingly surprised by Muheun’s words. “…What nonsense are you talking about… Cough!” “I mean exactly what I said. I intend to save you, young hero.” Dokgo Hyeon glared at Muheun while breathing heavily. “Don’t spout bullshit. You think you can save someone in this state?” “The more you talk like this, the lower your chances of survival become.” “Hah, what a joke. Did I ever say I wanted that?” Blood dripped steadily from…

Chapter 9 A week had passed since then. The reply from the current Murim Alliance Leader, Namgung Cheon, came quickly. As soon as Jegal Cheonseong's letter arrived, he sent back a reply saying that they would meet three days later. Three days from Anhui to Hubei. 'At that speed, he'd have to drive his horse quite hard.' It wasn't difficult to understand why. The current Murim Alliance Leader and Chief Strategist, Namgung Cheon, and Jegal Cheonseong. The two had been childhood friends,…

Chapter 11 The hand that had been caressing her lips slipped into her hair and wrapped around the back of her head. Kang Hyun leaned in so close that it seemed he might devour her lips at any moment. “Let’s check again. If you don’t like it, push me away. Or hit me.” “No, but how—” Before Lee Jin could finish, Kang Hyun caught her lips. It was such a swift movement that he didn't allow her even a moment to hesitate. “Hng…” A heated breath escaped between Lee…-

Chapter 2 Heavenly Secrets Heavenly Secrets (天機). Quite literally, the secrets of Heaven. It sounds like something extraordinary, but in reality, it is simply another branch of learning. It involves using Astronomy (天文)—reading the movements of the stars—to predict the near future. With a basic knowledge of things such as Qimen Dunjia, the Book of Changes (I Ching), and astrology, anyone could attempt it. It was not easy, of course, but with enough mastery, one could even divine the…

Chapter 62 Jörmungandr (1) The year-end and New Year rush was everywhere. There were still places where Christmas trees continued to sparkle because people had not quite forgotten Christmas yet, while events looking toward the coming year were being held all over the city. It was peaceful. But it was a strangely distorted kind of peace. Ho-jong spoke about it at a yakitori restaurant near the hotel, a place that had recently become their regular spot. “It’s a strange country. If this…-
